Brother Tony Cisse
Your contributions are always valuable . Thanks but this person may not be what he is .
Did you verify this source? With all due respect this sounds very suspicious.
This guy seems to be a fake and is distorting a lot of "so called facts " on the statistics of Aids in
South Africa.
I am very cautious when dealing with such unknown persons whose real agenda may be to destroy our image
in the pretense of getting information to help some innocent victims.
I doubt if this is genuine - my gut feeling - therefore would not help this person shoot us in the
feet.
